Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure: O-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides I
R-O-NH2 . HCl (I) where R is C1-C4-alkyl, C3- or C4-alkenyl, C3- or C4-haloalkenyl or benzyl, are prepared by continuous hydroly-sis of the corresponding acetoxime ethers II

Description

- 1 - O.Z. 0050/38679 Preparation of 0-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of 0-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides of the formula I
R 0-NHz . HCl (I) where R ;s C1-C4-alkyl, C3- or C4-alkenyl, C3- or C4-haloalkenyl or benzyl.
A large number of methods are known for the preparation of O-substituted hydroxylamines, but the methocls are technically and economically unsa~isfactory.
In particular, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organis-chen Chemie, Volume 10/1, 4th Edition, 1971, 1186-1189, discloses that certain aldoxime and ketoxime ethers can be hydrolyzed with mineral acids to give the correspond-ing salts of 0-substituted hydroxylamine; however, the yields o~tainable are unsa~isfactory.
It is an object of the present invention to make the 0-substituted hydro~ylamines I which are important for the synthesis of drugs and crop protection agents more readily available technically and economicaLly.
~ e have found that this object is achieved by a process for the preparation of 0-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochlor;des of the general formula I
R-0-NHz . HCl ~I) where R is C1-C4-alkyl~ C3- or C4-alkenyl, C3- or C4-haloalkenyl or benzyl, by cleaving the corresponding acetoxime ether of the general formula II
CH3 ( I I ), R--O--N=C~

wherein, according to the invention, the cleavage is carried out continuously in a reaction column contain-ing not less than Z0 theoretical plates with constant removal o~ the acetone eliminated, using hydrogen chloride and water.

~2~2~
- 2 - o.z. 0050/38679 R is, for example, - C1-C4-alkyl, ie. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl, - C3- or C4-alkenyl, such as prop-2-enyl, but-Z-enyl and but-3-enyl, - C3- or C4-haloalkenyl, such as 3-chloroprop-2-enyl, 2-chloroprop-2-enyl, 2-chlorobut-Z-enyl, 3-chlorobut-2-enyl, 2,3-dichloroprop-2-enyl, 2,3-dichlorobut-2-enyl, 3-bromoprop-2-enyl, 3-fluoroprop-2-enyl, 2-bromoprop-2-enyl, 2-fluoroprop-2-enyl, 2,3-dibromoprop-2-enyl and 2,3-dibromobut-2-enyl, or - benzyl~
The starting compounds II are known or are obtain-able by known methods, for example by ether;fication of acetoxime (German Laid-Open Applications DOS 2,9Z7,117, EP-A-121 701 and EP-A-158 159).
Regard;ng the convers;on of the acetoxime ethers II to the O-subst;tuted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides I, the following may be stated:
Part;cularly suitable reaction columns are tray columns of any design, especially bubble cap columns, since the res;dence t;mes on the trays can be readily ad-justed in these columns. Packed columns are also su;t-able. The number of theoretical plates ;s generally from ZO to 60, preferably from 30 to 50, although the upper lim;t for the number of plates ;s determ;ned only by : econom;c cons;derations.
The hydrogen chlor;de required for the hydroly-s;s ;s preferably used ;n a sto;ch;ometr;c amount, al-though it is also poss;ble to use an excess, for exam-ple up to 1 mole per mole of acetox;me ether II.
Where aqueous hydrochlor;c acid ;s used, its con-centration ;s preferably from 10 to 20, in part;cular from 15 to 20, % by we;ght.
In a preferred embodiment, the procedure can be carr;ed out ;n the presence of 1,4-dioxane, from wh;ch the hydroxylamine I can readily be obtained in crystalline ~.2~ ~

form. In this case, however, the amount of water used must be as small as possible (i.e. 1 to 1.6 mole water ~or 1 mole acetoxime ether II) and furthermore hydrogerl chloride must therefore be used in gaseous form.
Otherwise, the reactant II, a solution of lI, water and hydrogen chloride or aqueous hydrochloric acid are advantageously fed in at the middle of the column, and the feed rate and heating power are chosen so that the mean residence time in the co~umn is from 3 to 4 hours.
The general rule ~ith regard to the feed point is that compounds II having a higher boiling point are introduced at a higher tray than those having a ~ow boiling point.
The reaction temperature is advantageously from 70 to 140C, so that the procedure can be carried out under atmospheric pressure; if necessary, slightly reduced pressure down to about SûO mbar or slightly superatmospheric pressure up to about 3 bar may be used. The acetone taken off con-tinuously at the top at a reflux ratio of, for example, ; from 1:5 to 1.50, preferably from 1:5 to 1:20, can be re-used for the preparation of acetoxime ether II.
At the bottom of the coLumn, an aqueous solution of O-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochloride I or a sus-pension of I in 1,4-dioxane is obtained.
This solution or suspension is discharged continuous-ly and, if necessary, is worked up to give the pure pro-ducts I in a conventional manner by crystallization or by stripping off the liquid.
This gives the compounds I in a purity and in a yield high enough to permit them to be used directly for syntheses.
The O-substituted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides are useful intermediates for the preparation of drugs and crop protection agents.

~2~ 2 4 - O.Z. 0050t38679 1,4-dioxane, 31.3 9 of water and 47.3 9 of hydrogen chloride were metered in, per hour, at the 30th tray of a bubble cao column which contained 60 trays, had an internal diameter of 50 mm and was equiPped with a thin film evaporator and an automa~ic reflux divider. Acetone was taken off at the top at a reflux ratio of 1:15, and the dioxane/product mixture was removed as a bottom product. The latter was filtered off under suction and the solid dried under reduced pressure.
123.0 g/h (97% yield) of ethoxyamine hydrochloride (Compound 1) of melting point 133C were obtained.

In the apparatus described above, 139.9 g/h of acetoxime trans-crotyl ether and 315 g/h of 1,4-dioxane were metered in at the 50th tray~ 40.1 g/h of hydrogen chloride were metered in at the 20th tray and 25.8 g/h of water were metered in at the 30th tray. Acetone was taken off at the top at a reflux ratio of 1:16. After cool;ng, the product was filtered off under suction and dr;ed under reduced pressure.
126.4 g/h (93% yield) of trans-crotyloxyamine hydrochloride (Compound 2) of melt;ng point 169C were obtained.
The 0-subst;tuted hydroxylamine hydrochlorides listed in Table 1 were obta;ned ~rom the corresponding acetoximes II, sim;larly to Examples 1 and 2:
